Women In Small Colombian Town Are On a Sex Strike

In the ancient Greek play Lysistrata, the title character convinces all of the women to go on a sex strike until their spouses finally end the Peloponnesian War.

Today, all the women of Barbacaos, a small town in southwest Colombia, are taking a page from her book by going on a sex strike — they're calling it "the crossed-legs movement" — until a dangerous road that connects the isolated town with the rest of Colombia is fixed, reports Pri.org.

Apparently the conditions of the road are so poor that it takes 12 to 14 hours to get to the nearest hospital, and pregnant women have died en route while giving birth in the back of the ambulance.
